Topic: Hi from New Zealand (Read 2991 times)

Hi all,I've been looking for a while and thought I'd have the manners to join and say hello :-)I've been a cheesemaker for 10 years with a 10 year gap (til now)A friend asked if I would help him set up a boutique cheese palour so it stirred up my cheese brain.. Yay for cheese.Hope I can contribute from time to time.

Welcome aboard! Let me tell you, I have had some of the best cheese I've ever tried come from New Zealand. One of my favorites is a Parmigian that came from down there. I do have to say you guys make one heck of a butter as well. I come from the selling & buying side of the cheese business, so any help I can offer about opening up a cheese shop I'm more then happy to offer.

Goodness.. lots have happened since my last post..As the cheese ad on tv here states "Good things take time"Well since my last post there is still no cheese "shop" however have made a few trial batches using raw milk.Lots of fun made some Ricotta Salata and, Brie, and Feta just to see what was required..On to some hard cheeses now, just have to complete building a half decent press.
